 You can reach, but you can't grab it 
 You can't hold it, control it, you can't bag it 
 You can push, but you can't direct it 
 Circulate, regulate, you cannot connect it

 Love 
 It's not a trick...you can't learn it 
 It's the way you don't pay, that's OK, cause you can't earn it 
 You know you're chewing bubble gum 
 You know what that is but you still want some 
 You just can't get enough of that lovie dovie stuff 
 Let go, let's go, discotheque 
 Go go, let go, discotheque 
 Looking for the one, but you know you're somewhere else instead 
 You want to be the song, the song that you hear in your head 
 Love 
 But you take what you can get, cause it's all that you can find 
 Oh you know there's something more, but tonight, tonight, tonight

          Discotheque by U2 (main riff) 
 Transcribed by Richard Zangoli(ahowden@magna.com.au) 
         For those of you that want to play some new U2 this is a 
 transcription of the 30 second sample of the upcoming single that has been 
 recently floating around the internet (along with the sample of Wake Up Dead 
 Man). If you don't have it I think it is on one of the U2 FTP archives and 
 on some WWW U2 pages. Island records says that this sample is not of the 
 final version of the song but we'll have to wait and see. And this 
 transcription will undoubtably be replaced by a more complete version when 
 the song is actually released. But for now here is the main riff. The tuning 
 is standard I think- 
  
 E--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 B--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 G--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 D--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 A---------5-----------------------5-------------7---------------5----------| 
 E7--7--7----7--7--7-----7--5--7-------7--7--7------7---7---7-------7-7-7---| 
  
 And then this is played 4 times over while Bono sings the verse- 
  
 E--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 B--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 G--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 D--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 A---------5--------------7-----------------5-------------------------------| 
 E--7--7-------7--7--7---------7---7---7--------7---7---7-------------------| 
  
         No wonder Bono said that Edge has fallen in love with the guitar 
  
 again ....... 
  
  
 This song is very easy to play & tab... 
    make sure you're in 'dropped D' tuning... 
  
   Intro/outro: 
  
 --x-x---x-x---x-x--x--| 
 --x-x---x-x---x-x--x--|   just repeated over & over.. 
 --x-x---x-x---x-x--x--|

 --9-11--9-11--9-11-11-| 
 --9-11--9-11--9-11-11-| 
  
 The 'main riff/solo' is just this: 
  
 ---------------------------------------------------| 
 ---------------------------------------------------| 
 ---------------------------------------------------| 
 ---------------------------------------------------| 
 -5-----------7-----------5-------------------------| 
 ---7--5--7-----7--5--7------7--5--7----7-7--5--7---| 
  
 but, I'm not sure as to which fret they are actually on, as I don't have my guitar on me... 
 It may be a different fret, but it's the same pattern.

 Do you feel loved? 
 Take the colours of my imagination 
 Take the scent hanging in the air 
 Take this tangle of a conversation and turn it into your own prayer 
 With my fingers as you want them 
 With my nails under your hide 
 With my teeth at your back 
 And my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies 
 Do you feel loved? 
 Do you feel loved? 
 And it looks like the sun, but it feels like rain

 Lookin' for the places where no flowers grow 
 Lookin' for to fill that GOD shaped hole 
 Mother mother sucking rock and roll 
 Holy dunc, spacejunk comin'in for the spash 
 (been around the back...been around the front) 
 White dopes on punk staring into the flash 
 Lookin' for baby Jesus under the trash 
 Mother mother sucking rock and rooll

 Lookin' for the father of my two little girls

 Mother mother sucking rock and roll 
 Bubble poppin' sugar droppin' rock and roll

 Nobody made you do it, no one put words in your mouth 
 Nobody here taking orders when love took a train heading south 
 It's the blind leading the blond 
 It's the stuff, the stuff of country songs 
 If GOD will send His angels 
 And if GOD will send a sign 
 And if GOD will send His angels 
 Would everything be alright?

 GOD has got His phone off the hook, babe 
 Would He even pick up if He could? 
 It's been a while since we saw that child 
 Hangin' 'round this neighbourhood 
 See His mother dealing in a doorway 
 See Father Christmas with a begging bowl 
 Jesus sister's eyes are a blister 
 The high street never looked so low

 Jesus never let me down you know 
 Jesus used to show me the score 
 Then they put Jesus in show business 
 Now it's hard to get in the door 
 It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs 
 But I guess it was something to go on 
 If GOD will send His angels 
 I sure could use them here right now 
 Well if GOD will send His angels 
 Where do we go?

 First I'll define Rythym Figures and Riffs before I actually 
 get into the song.  The song appears to be in the key of Db, 
 with A B D E & G all flat.  At the end of the song is my 
 attempt at the bass line.

 Intro:  the intro is mostly Bono's singing with Ryth. Fig. 1 in the 
         background (there also seems to be an organ I couldn't figure 
         out).  Ryth. Fig. 1 seems to be played in the background 
         for nearly the entire song. 
  
 Ryth. Fig. 1

 Well, after repeated listenings, I came up with a rough sketch of this 
 soon to be favorite among U2 fans.  I can't wait to hear the main riff 
 echoing through the POPMART stadiums this summer.  Anyway, here's a 
 rough sketch of how to play the song. 
  
 "If God Will Send His Angels", by U2 
 Tabbed by mps133@psu.edu 
  
 Use a Delay Pedal, and you will need some sort of wah-wah to play 
 certain parts to the song. 
  
 THERE IS A CAPO USED ON THE 6th FRET for the Chords and Riffs 
 Chords with respect to the CAPO are: 
 C  x32010 
 Am x02210 
 E* 0200xx 
 G  3200xx 
  
 OPENING VERSE: 
 For the opening verse, the sound is really hard to match, but it is some 
 sort of wah-wah type effect.  Play the following chords apperegio 
 through the opening verse (note - the 'G' part is only played once, 
 repeat the C & Am apperegio throughout the verse): 
  
         G                  C             Am

 C                   Am  C                      Am 
 Nobody else here baby no one else here to blame 
 C                        Am  C                             Am 
 No one to point the finger...it's just you and me in the rain 
 Nobody made you do it no one put words in your mouth 
 Nobody here taking orders when love took a train heading south 
  
  
 PRECHORUS: 
           G       Am (may be C, not too sure) 
 It's the blind leading the blond 
           G          Am 
 It's the stuff the stuff of country songs 
  
 REFRAIN: 
        C           E*           Am  G 
 Hey if God would send his angels 
        C           E*       Am  G

 Would everything be alright? 
  
 THE RIFF: 
 There are many little variations that the Edge throws into this riff, 
 play around with them, and play along with the song to get a feel for 
 it. 
 Use Delay for this riff, set to about .4 seconds.  This tab is with 
 respect to the capo on the 6th fret. 
  
 e---------------0---------| 
 b-1-1-3-3-----3---3-1-----|     Just repeat this pattern, and play around 
 g---------------------2---|     with different variations to get it right 
  
 Little Riff after Bono Sings "Where Do We Go?" 
 (no delay for this part).  Tab with respect to capo on 6th fret. 
  
 d---10--8-10-8----10---8-10-8----8--| 
 a--------------10-------------10----| 
  
 That's basically the song.  I welcome any corrections. 
 Enjoy.

 GONE 
  
 Transcribed by Brandon Leniart (leniarbk@jmu.edu) 
  
 This song is tuned 1/2 step down and also changes keys a few times. 
 Another one of my personal theories is that Bono is singing this song to 
 himself, and he's trying to deal with his success.  Just a thought. 
  
 this is actually what the riff sounds like: 
      E 
 1----------------------<5>--| 
 2---<5>---------------------| 
 3-------------<3>-----------| 
 4---------------------------| 
 5---------------------------| 
 6---------------------------| 
  
 But since I know that riff is really tough to pull off, I've arranged an 
 easier version to play (which is probably what Edge uses with an 
 octaver and/or an effect that automatically produces harmonics): 
     E 
 1----------10-----12--| 
 2---12----------------| 
 3---------------------| 
 4---------------------| 
 5---------------------| 
 6---------------------|

 You get to feel so guilty, got so much for so little 
 Then you find that feeling just won't go away 
 You're holding on to every little thing so tightly 
 Till there's nothing left for you anyway

 MIAMI 
  
 Transcribed by Brandon Leniart (leniarbk@jmu.edu) 
  
 This song is TUNED DOWN 1/2 STEP, but I LEAVE the 2ND STRING at a B 
 natural to get the harmonics right.  Once again, I think Edge has a 
 special machine to do this, but I can't think of a better way of getting 
 the right sound.  It looks harder than it is--just make sure you've got 
 it on the bridge pickup and lots of distortion, and it sounds real cool. 
 I think it's in A minor.  With Larry's drum beat, I could just imagine 
 them using "Miami" to segue into "Bullet The Blue Sky"...and I take it 
 Ali wasn't with Bono on this Miami trip. 
  
  
 Weather 'round here choppin' and changin' 
 Surgery in the air 
 Print shirts and southern accents, cigars and big hair 
 We got the whells and petrol is cheap 
 Only went there for a week 
 Got the sun, got the sand 
 Got the batteries in the handicam

 Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot 
 Freshmen squeaky clean, she tastes like chlorine 
 Miami, my mammy 
 Love the movies, love to walk those movie sets 
 Get to shoot someone in the foot 
 Get to smoke some cigarettes 
 No big deal, we know the score 
 Just back from the video store 
 What's he got inside the case? 
 I want a close up of that face 
 Here comes the car chase

 Pink and blue, Miami

 You said, "Maybe said I wanna have your baby." 
 We could make something beautiful

 There is just some feedback that sounds like feedback coming from his Vox 
 AC30s.  This goes until the lyrics "here comes the car chase" Then it does this 
 on the low E string. 
  
 E---5-5-5-5-555-5(7)-5(7)------------ 
  
 It goes along with the beat of the drums.  The 5(7) is called something like 
 harp harmonics.  What you do to get this is press on the 5th  fret with you 
 index finger then reach over to the 7th fret with you pinky but you just rest 
 it on the string lightly.  Get a really fuzzy distortion to make this work. 
 Use the same harp harmonics during the rest of the song.

 This is one of the new U2 songs on the net right now, and 
 I couldn't make out a lot of the lyrics, so I'll just give 
 you the basic chords.  It's a slow, rap-like song in 
 E, tuned down 1/2 step.

 Tonight the moon is playing tricks again 
 Feeling sea sick again 
 And the whole world could just dissolve into a glass of water 
 I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to 
 Do you really want me to be as blue as you 
 It's her daylight that gets me through 
 We've been here before 
 Last time you scratched at my door 
 The moon was naked and cold 
 I was like a 2 year old who just wanted more 
 If you wear that velvet dress 
 If you wear that velvet dress 
 Tonight the moon's drawn its cutains 
 It's a private show, no one has to know 
 I'm wanting
